At Town & Country Insurance, we see firsthand all the effort our neighbors put into winterizing their RVs, ATVs, dune buggies, and other recreational vehicles. According to Camping World, most RV owners neglect preparing their vehicles for spring. That may extend to smaller vehicles like ATVs and dune buggies, too, so we put together this blog of tips for getting your recreational cars ready for spring use in and around Buford, GA.

Test Safety Features Before Use

After sitting parked for months, your RV needs its safety mechanisms examined and tested before you hit the road. Test each alarm or detector for proper function and test their batteries. If you find a dead or dying battery in your fire alarm, smoke detector, carbon monoxide detector, or LP gas detector, replace it immediately. Examine your fire extinguisher, too.

Run a Check of All Major Systems

On RVs and smaller vehicles, test the electrical systems and tires. Examine the propane or butane system on the RV, including its seals. Check for leaks before putting the system to use.

Inspect the battery connections and fluid levels on every vehicle, then charge the battery. Run a diagnostic on your RV generator and check its air filter. Replace a dirty filter.

Water and Waste Tanks

Your RV’s water and waste tanks need a new anode rod. Repressurize your system using a hose or a full water tank and water pump. Flush out all the winter antifreeze by running the faucets and shower. Flush the toilet to clean it out.

Getting Ready to Hit the Road

Clean and detail the exterior and interior of the RV or other recreational vehicles. Start your spring use of your recreational vehicles the right way. Contact Town & Country Insurance, serving Buford, GA, for RV insurance to protect your financial security while you enjoy your RV and other recreational toys.

There are more similarities between for-profit companies and non-profit agencies than many realize. Certainly, there are significant differences in how each is treated under the tax code, but each is usually required to produce income to reach their goals.

Town & Country Insurance in Buford, GA is pleased to be the insurance provider of choice for many business concerns in the area. We are also proud to insure multiple non-profit organizations in the Buford GA, area. If you are on the board or serve as director of a non-profit, there are many good reasons to make sure your organization is properly covered by insurance.

Why Your Non-Profit May Need Commercial Insurance

Real Estate

Like for-profit companies, non-profit organizations often have real estate holdings they are responsible for. Some may be donated; others may be purchased to serve as offices or headquarters. These properties and structures need to be protected from weather, vandalism, storm damage, and natural disasters. Content in these structures, like furniture, computers, supplies, and equipment, also needs to be protected from theft or other losses.

Liability Coverage

Non-profit organizations are not above being sued by someone who suffers an injury accident on the organization’s property. Volunteers could also suffer a slip and fall or other injury. Liability insurance for a non-profit can not only cover the cost of litigation but also cover the organization’s costs associated with any settlement or court judgment.

Directors and Officers Liability Insurance

Non-profit board and director liability insurance helps protect those in charge of directing an organization from the ramifications of their decisions regarding the operation of the non-profit. This may be critical in recruiting and maintaining a talented board of directors.

Vehicle Insurance

Oftentimes, non-profits will rely on volunteers to use their vehicles when performing duties related to the non-profit. This can be risky should a volunteer become involved in an accident while volunteering. Commercial auto insurance can provide protection for vehicles owned by the organization and those used by volunteers.

Theft

It is unpleasant to consider that some non-profit organizations may be as prone to theft as for-profit ones. This includes theft from employees or volunteers. An appropriate policy can help protect you from these financial losses.

Reach Out To Us

Non-profit organizations may also benefit from a host of other coverage like cybercrime and security insurance, and more. Our business and commercial insurance professionals can help discuss your organization’s risks and protection options. Reach out to Town & Country Insurance for a review and quote. We are pleased to serve Buford, GA area’s businesses and the non-profit community.

Beyond cars and trucks, many families have added recreational vehicles to enhance the enjoyment of their spare time. If you own a boat, ATV, personal watercraft, motorcycle, or other vehicle designed for "fun", you should understand they too, should be insured.

The Need For Recreational Vehicle Insurance

Just like your car or truck, recreational vehicles can be damaged and cause damage. They could be stolen or be involved in incidents that cause personal injury. These are all reasons that your ATV, boat, or other vehicle designed for recreation should be properly insured. Many also need to be transported via trailer to a site they will be enjoying, placing them at risk while on the road.

Use By Others

It may not always be the best decision, but these vehicles are meant to be enjoyed. They are often shared with family and friends during weekends or holidays. It is not uncommon for a more inexperienced driver to be behind the wheel of an ATV, personal watercraft, or boat. This can increase the potential for damage or injury. Will you be adequately covered?

Life insurance is an important protection and can even be considered an investment, depending on the kind of life insurance and the benefits you choose. Many people put off purchasing life insurance because they don’t think they need it when they are young. At Town & Country Insurance, we understand that life can surprise you. If you are in the area of Buford, GA, let us talk to you about the benefits of locking in a good deal on life insurance when you are young.

Purchasing Life Insurance For Someone Else

There is no minimum age for purchasing a life insurance policy, although there are some rules if you are purchasing a policy for someone else. You must have an insurable interest in the person you are insuring. Otherwise, you could simply insure strangers and receive benefits for yourself when those strangers die. You also need to have permission from the person you are insuring. Many people choose to insure their children at a young age so their children can take over the policy as adults.

Advantages Of Purchasing Life Insurance When Young

Because the value of life insurance depends on risks, many policies will require applicants to provide a medical exam. Most people are healthier when they are younger, developing or discovering serious health problems as they age. Being young is also a good thing because of statistics about when people are more likely to die.

Once you have a great rate, you can keep that rate for as long as you have the policy.
